Man crushed underneath car ‘a tragic accident’

A MAN working under a car which was scheduled for an NCT was crushed to death when it fell on him.

Gardaí have described as “a tragic accident” the incident which claimed the life of Ger Horgan, 45, a married father-of-two from Monfield, near Rochestown, Co Cork.

The car had been jacked up and Mr Horgan was working underneath it in a yard area of his farm on Tuesday night because it is understood the car was due to undergo an NCT soon.
